Thanks Kai Wee, that's part of what i wanted to know. Now, is it your opinion that the term tajong merely refers to the hilt, or is the rest of the dress as specific? Is there more than one blade form that is acceptable in tajong dress? Can you tell from the features of this tajong hilt approximately how old it is?
